Fractional flow reserve and complex coronary pathologic conditions.
نویسنده
چکیده
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a well-validated index for assessing the physiologic significance of a coronary stenosis in most clinical conditions encountered in today's catheterisation laboratory. The aim of this paper is to provide a short overview of the theoretical background of the coronary pressure-derived FFR index and its clinical applicability in guiding complex coronary intervention procedures.

متن کاملClinical significance of fractional flow reserve for evaluation of functional lesion severity in stent restenosis and native coronary arteries.
OBJECTIVE Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a valid surrogate for hemodynamic significance in stenotic native coronary arteries, but its validity in patients with coronary stent restenosis is unknown. DESIGN Prospective. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS We studied 42 patients (mean age +/- 1 SD, 62 +/- 10 years) with stent restenosis and 57 patients (mean age, 61 +/- 12 years) with a ...
متن کاملFunctional assessment of a left coronary-pulmonary artery fistula by coronary flow reserve
We report a 71-year-old man who presented with atypical chest pain. Coronary angiography did not reveal left main or proximal left anterior descending coronary artery stenosis, but a fistulous communication with a stronger tube-like fistula was present originating from the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery and emptying into the main pulmonary artery. Fractional flow reserve and ...
متن کاملComputed Fractional Flow Reserve (FFTCT) Derived from Coronary CT Angiography
Recent advances in image-based modeling and computational fluid dynamics permit the calculation of coronary artery pressure and flow from typically acquired coronary computed tomography (CT) scans. Computed fractional flow reserve is the ratio of mean coronary artery pressure divided by mean aortic pressure under conditions of simulated maximal coronary hyperemia, thus providing a noninvasive e...
متن کاملFractional Flow Reserve and Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography
Background: Invasive Fractional Flow Reserve Obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) produces symptoms and increases the risk of adverse cardiac outcomes. However, determining whether a particular coronary stenosis is responsible for causing myocardial ischemia can be challenging, even with invasive coronary angiography (ICA). To help guide decisions in the cardiac catheterization laboratory,...
